      It's a circle so when you spin an Atlantis gate in space, you're hypnotized.

        The Stargate looks cool as a circle. The sun is a circle, the moon is a circle, planets. Why would it be anything else?

        Plus. theorieticly wormholes are circular...

          The real reason why the stargate is not a square is because to dial a square you'd be a square

              When was the last time you heard them say "dial the circle" or "dial the ring?"
              well some civilizations call the gate the ring or cirle so it would be weird to hear "they came from the square"

                How would that be any more unusual?

                  I'll go with this, the Ori created the first Stargate.

                    Pft....... Ori fanboi.

                    The first Stargate was created by Bill Gates.

                    Well, not really... but he stole the idea from the Ori and beat them to market.

                      the reason the stargate is circular might have something to do with the fact that the wormhole is uses has to be round and therefore so does the gate...just a thought... and besides it looks good as a circle

                              According to the original movie and plans drew up as sketches for the original design, the stargate was originally going to be triangular shaped. I kid you not! I shall post an image if I get the chance.

                                If anything, it should have been star-shaped! Get it, it's a gate that's starshaped, stargate? (You know, like the gateship1 quote when they find the puddle jumpers).

                                I can't even imagine that! That would be harder to fit things through.
